AND THE WINNERS WERE. . .
LOS ROBLES GREENS G.C. - 02/07/2019 The rainstorms subsided and the sun shown as the Low Round of the Day  | | Mr. Crook |
was a solid 77 posted by Gordon Crook who had declined to enter the Super Gross wagering but marked mightily in the other pots by winning the Low Putts award and 2+1/2 birdie payouts for the day's top dollar of $66. Brian Oblak marked in all 5 wager categories with a tie for 1st place in both Super Gross & Low Net, also 1st in Partners and 2nd in Low Putts plus a 1/2 shared birdie for a $33 total winnings. The fourth birdie payout,worth an even $20, went to Val Mayer. The Porter Low Gross award was won by Craig Fehrman who added a Partners 2nd place for his $13 take. Ron Troncatty tied for both Super Gross & Low Net, but without any of his usual birdie monies settled for a modest $12 day. Mike Gannon was the runner-up in Porter Gross and took Partners 1st to earn $9. A pair of 3rd places in both Net & Partners sent $6 to Marilou Miller. Partners 2nd place paid $3 to John Moskoff and the Partners 3rd pairing gave $2 to Jimmy Dodds while 3 other unnamed competitors presumably enjoyed their day minus a trip to the winners window. WOODLEY LAKES G.C. - 02/14/2019Cancelled due to heavy rains that turned the entire course into a giant lake best suited for aquatic events. SIMI HILLS G. C. - 02/21/2019: To paraphrase the courageous postal service credo neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor hail would stay the 11 dedicated Thursday Groupers from completion of their appointed rounds in the winter-like conditions that prevailed at Simi Hills on this day. Amazingly the Low Round of the Day was a slick 79 posted by former Low Handicap Member, Bill "Cuz" Hargrave, who was visiting from his outpost in Prescott, AZ. Top Dollar winning amount was a modest $36 scooped up by Paul Venetos from his 1st Place in Low Putts, runner-up in Porter Low Gross, and 1+1/3 in birdie monies. John Moskoff claimed $22 from a pair of shared birdies along with 2nds in Net, Partners, & Putts. Bob Stone nabbed the Porter Low Gross award and added a Partners 1st & Net 2nd to earn $17. Brian Oblak won the uncontested Super Low Gross prize along with a share in the birdie bucks for a $15 payout. Another $15 found Bill Lewis in First Place in both Low Net & Partners. More shared birdie loot and a Partners 2nd paid $14 to Bruce Simon and still more shared birdie booty sent $11 to Sunny Weiss. Not to be left out Jimmy Dodds and Bob Planck partnered up in 3rd place worth a paltry One Buck apiece. ENCINO MUNI G.C. - 02/28/2019: Jim Sabbe "plumbing-bobbed" his way to a sizzling 73 Gross that dominated the competition and earned $67 from 2+1/2 shares of the birdie booty, the Super Low Gross award, and a Partners runner-up spot for good measure. Bob Stone tied for the Porter Low Gross title, placed 2nd in Partners, and got a solo birdie for $31 winnings. John Moskoff shared one of Mr. Sabbe's tweeters, took 1st in Partners, & 2nd in Low Net to claim $26. An even 20 Bucks went to Brian Oblak for the day's Low Putts total at 28 and a Super Gross runner-up spot. Mike Belson played well below the triple-digit figure here on his home course to easily grab 1st places in both Low Net & Partners for his $19 take home. Paul Venetos tied Mr. Stone for the Porter Low Gross title and took 2nd in Low Putts for a $13 reward. A pair of $4 payouts went to Jimmy Dodds and Bob Planck, JD for his 3rds in both Net & Partners, and the Planckster for his Partners 2nd place while a Two Dollar Bill found Marilou Miller tied for 3rd Low Net.
